    New Gaming Build: $1,000

    Would I need to buy a heat fan? I know one comes with the CPU, but just wondering if I'd need something better.

    New Gaming Build: $1,000

    Awesome, thanks for the suggestions. The price seems a bit high for 8GB. I'm shooting for 16GB memory. Are those cards better performance?

    New Gaming Build: $1,000

    It's not far. Maybe 25 minutes. I go there regularly. Hoping to upgrade to a 24" after the holidays. Do not include it in the $1,000 budget. That's something I'll get later.

    Post Your Workstations 2013

    Yep, it's a custom made desk. Very simple design, so it wasn't too hard. I wanted a gaming desk look. I was wondering if I should put shelves on the top, one on each side. Haven't decided yet though.

    New Build: $800

    I do, but it's a generic Dell monitor, 19". But I'll be getting rid of that soon since I want an HD monitor. So would it help if we went off of that? But still not including it in the $800 budget.

    Post your Workstation 2012

    I'm hoping it will be strong enough. I only plan to put speakers there or maybe a rack for my games. I'll have to do some tweaking when I start building if it needs more support. Eyefinity would be nice. I'll have to think about it. I'm thinking I can always make the desk wider to fit 3...

    Post your Workstation 2012

    Here's a sketch of the desk I'm looking to make myself. Just wanted to post it here to see if I could get some recommendations, get thoughts and ideas, and get feedback. Let me know what you guys think. Will probably make the table top and shelves out of MDF boards. The legs will be made of...

    New PC - Games Run Choppy

    Ah, yes, it's the mouse. Apparently my 12 year old mouse doesn't like the new video games. Thanks a lot!

    New PC - Games Run Choppy

    Hello, I just built my computer and when I'm playing games, I find things are choppy. For instance, I just bought MW3 for my PC and am using the recommended settings. During game play, when I move my mouse around, it feels like things get really choppy, almost as if I'm stuttering. When I'm...

    Gaming PC: ~$800

    The wireless adapter isn't available. Is there a comparable one? Also, I didn't see a fan listed. Would I need to get one? Thanks for your quick reply.
